Hi! Were you diagnosed just on one test EMG/nerve test? My diagnosis of CIDP were based on EMG and elevated protein from my lumber puncture test. I was only recently diagnosed and my treatment protocol is IGIV infusions I started this week. My symptoms (started in April) are numbness in my both feet - started from the toes and moved to entire sole, hands are also affected as I was diagnosed with carpal syndrome first. How did they came up with your original diagnosis I wonder, havent you had EMG back there, last year ?

I had an EMG last week and they diagnosed off that and my EMG a year ago. I go to the neurologist next week to see what is next. I have had symptoms for about a year and a half. I imagine the neurologist will do the spinal tap or a nerve biopsy. Thank You.
